Event: Terroristic Attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennyslvania Date: September 11, 2001
Perspectives:
Behavioral - The easiest, and most common, way to explain this event would be to say that hijacking/terrorism was a learned behavior within these men, and that perhaps nobody ever tried to teach them differently.
Cognitive - Basing behaviors upon memory, these men coul dhave just reacted to a situation the way they knew they could, and the way they knew how. Their memory could have been serving them as a back-up plan to something else that had gone wrong.
Evolutionary - The Middle Eastern culture stresses that an actiong like this can prove to be beneficial in a future life, ergo aiding them in a "survival" or sorts; perhaps a survival onto their next life.
Neuroscience - It could be theorized that the body chemistry within these men was off - for example, seratonin levels - forcing them to act out in aggression.
Psychodynamic - These hijackers were not even conciously thinking about what they were doing. Rather, they were doing what they always expected they would one day be doing.
Social - Cultural - The men who hijaked these planes were raised in a culture that not toly told them to carry out such actions, but a culture that also embraced those who did.
